ARLHS CONVENTION ---> The 9-10 November Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society
Convention, which was announced to be held in Brunswick, Georgia [425DXN
539], has been cancelled. However plans are already being made for a meeting
in 2002. [TNX OPDX Bulletin]
EU-182 ---> The 19-25 September UX1IM/P operation [425DXN 541] took place
from the islands of Ankudinov (UIA DU-003, from 17.15 UTC on 19 September
through 11.07 UTC on the 23rd) and Ochakovskiy (UIA DU-004, from 19.25 UTC on
23 September through 03.20 UTC on the 25th). QSL via UX1IM (Oleg S. Motsny,
ul. Beregovaya 94-1, Selidovo, 85400, Ukraine).
INORC CONTEST ---> The XXI INORC (Italian Naval Old Rhythmers Club) Contest
(CW only) will take place from 12 UTC on 17 November through 12 UTC on the
18th and is open to either licensed amateur radio operators and SWLs. Full
rules are available from Alberto Frattini, I1QOD (i1qod@inwind.it).
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Please note that Hannes, DL3NM (DL3NEO) is not the QSL
manager for either 4U1ITU or 4U1VIC. He can confirm only contacts made on
21-26 August 1994 (4U1ITU) and 20-21 November 1998 (4U1VIC).
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Mario, IZ8DBJ reports he is not the QSL manager for
T95DXT any longer, as he was unable to get the logs.
OCEANIA DX CONTESTS ---> The Oceania DX Contests (the old VK/ZL Contests)
will be held on 6-7 October (SSB) and 13-14 October (CW), from 8 UTC on
Saturday to 8 UTC on Sunday. "There are some new awards and slight rule
changes", Tony, VK3TZ says, "and we have tried to encourage activity from all
of Oceania, including the smaller islands". The rules are available at
http://www.nzart.org.nz/nzart/update/contests/oceania/ and
http://www.vk4dx.net and
POSTAGE (PARAGUAY) ---> Mike, ZP5YW reports that "due to recent mail rate
increase, effective October 1st, 1 IRC or 1 US$ sent to ZP stations as return
postage expense is no longer enough to cover the air mail cost of a letter.
New mail rates require 2 US$ to cover the mail rates to everywhere in the
world except for neighboring Argentina (LU) and Brasil (PY), which is a
little under 1 US$. IRCs are useless here, as they can not be redeemed, but
we use them for QSLs we send to others, so they may still be usable."
QSL HK3JJH ---> Carl, N4AA says that "virtually all direct requests for
Pedro's operations from Malpelo in 1998, 1999 and 2001 have now been
answered. Some, which included requests for other operations are still in the
process of confirmation of those 'other' contacts. Requests for other
contacts with Pedro are being processed as confirmations are received from
him on a weekly basis". If you have any questions about a request sent and
not yet confirmed, e-mail Carl at N4AA@dxpub.com
QSL IQ4T ---> Steve, IK4WMH is the new QSL manager for IQ4T. Cards can be
requested either direct (Stefano Turci, Cerchia S. Egidio 4460, 47023 Cesena,
Italy) or through the bureau (e-mail requests for bureau cards are welcome at
topdxer@tin.it).
S.I.A. ---> The Sicilian Islands Award (SIA) is sponsored by ARI Siracusa
(http://siracusanet.it/arisiracusa) and is available to either licenced
amateurs and SWLs. Further information is available from the Award Manager
Salvo Costantino, IT9HLR (Sezione ARI di Siracusa, Via del Cormorano 24,
96100 Siracusa - SR, Italy; e-mail it9hlr@simail.it).
WRTC 2002 ---> Ari Korhonen, OH1EH reports the following contesters have been
nominated to represent their countries in WRTC 2002
(http://www.wrtc2002.org):
Canada - VE3EJ (John Sluymer) and VE7ZO (Jim Roberts)

DK3GI (Roland Mensch) and DL1IAO (Stefan von Baltz)

Ukraine - UT4UZ (Yuri "Jerry" Onipko) and UT3UA (Sergey Vasilenko)
Yugoslavia - YU7BW (Robert Homolja) and YU1ZZ (Milan Milanovic)
XP1AB ---> OZ1JSH stated that the special call XP1AB, to be aired again
during the forthcoming CQ WW DX SSB Contest, "was used for the last time in
the Sixties" [425DXN 537]. Now Maylon Harvey, WA2UUK reports that he operated
XP1AB while on Temporary Duty with the Air Force at Sondrestrom AFB,
Greenland on 20-29 July 1977. He made 1080 contacts and still has the logs
and a few blank cards; any one still wanting one QSL can send a SASE to
WA2UUK. Maylon also knows of one other operation by WA7ZLC, who made 229 QSOs
in August 1977 and gave WA3HUP as his manager.
